Nesting
Now that Christmas is over, I've started to nest and purge. We're going to have to combine our two offices into one so the baby can have a room upstairs with us and this requires the purging of at least half of my library. The thought of boxing these up and shoving them somewhere until we have more space makes me want to barf so I'd rather scale down and keep the things I really like or the collections that mean a lot to me. I currently have two big five shelf bookcases and they are full, so I'm trying to get down to one and it's proving to be much harder than I thought. I love history books and I have all these books about Vietnam, most of them I've read some or all of, but I keep thinking that there is going to be some history emergency and I won't have my references if I get rid of them. Working at Bookmans ruined me because I got all these great books by great authors, and despite the fact that I haven't read half of them, I still feel obligated to keep them. I've got about 1/5th of my collection ready to go away, and it's just ridiculous how tied to all this I feel. Aside from all these silly dilemmas I've created, things are going well. I'll be 11 weeks tomorrow so I'm almost done with my first trimester! We go back to the doctor on the 15th, so that's cool. Work makes me want to die on a daily basis, but my baby sure loves insurance so I'm going to suck it up and keep my mouth shut. My fatty cat is trying to weasel his way onto my lap, so I am done here. Hope everyone has a good weekend!!
